check: enable --read-data-subset and --read-data for specified snapshot(s)
Enhancement: enable --read-data-subset and --read-data for specified snapshot(s)
When snapshots are specified on the command line, the metadata for these
snapshots will be read and a set of packfiles will be created representing the data
parts of these snapshots.
Snapshots can now be specified on the command line via the standard snapshot filter,
(`--tag`, `--host`, `--path` or specifying snapshot IDs directly) and will be used
for checking the packfiles used by these snapshots.

them using the ``repair pack`` command. Use that command instead of the "Repair the
index" section in this guide.
If you are interested to check the repository via snapshots, you can now
use the standard snapshot filter method specifying ``--host``, ``--path``, ``--tag`` or
alternatively naming snapshot ID(s) explicitely. The selected subset of packfiles
will then be read to disk and checked for consistency
when either ``--read-data`` or ``--read-data-subset`` is given.
